Interview with Marta Torbidoni
Few singer are impress myself as the young marta torbidoni that I meet at the Italian soprano Marta torbidoni. A really impressive and powerful voice that remains a lot about the one of Maria callas. With almostthe same performing talent this March as the Italian cultural institute she has present the Giuseppe Verdi
How was born di Marta Torbidoni’s artistical carriera ?
I Always love music and when I was 5 year I starter to play piano. When I was eight years old my teacher convinced me to be part of a musical contest at cantamonte that now I’m the organisation. I began as soloist in a children choir. After that when I was 16 a tenor that listed to me gave me the suggestion to become a Soprano and I started to work on it. .
I saw that you were a part in an opera or to be more precise an Intermezzo Pergolesi Livietta e Tracollo could you tell us something about that a?
It as very funny my debut in a small theatre in my reason marche the miss en scene was mostly cent rate on the bass that worked with me .
Stiffelio is a really good opera for me one of teh few time in which and Italian artisti s trying to understand and protestant Calvinist mentality could you tell us a bit over the difficulties in this work ?
I didn’t study all the opera ony some few arear that we presented for the presentation Festival Verdi. By the way all Verdi’s opera and his arrear are really difficult with a lot of agility and also a lot pause and drama
Could you tell us how it was to work on a edizione critica ?
I worked only one time withPuritani at Teatro Bellini di Catania. There was very few modification and we had to work really hard adn a lot with the oepra
could you tell me how it was to work with verdi’s work Jerusalem ?
Also here I worked nota t all the opera but only to some few areas. It was hard because there is no Italian translation and we worked most with a series of long breath that are always super complicate
I saw that you worked a lot in Slovenia, Craaotia and Bulgaria what is the difference with that pubblic and the Italian one do you have some anecdote that you could tell uss ?
I saw that the public s really open and mostly it is really engaged in the opera. It was wonderful. Unfortunately I don’t have any anecdote that I could talk about,
How was it the work on Gianni Schicchi? Did you had some problem ?
It was really good to work on it. I really love this opera. Lauretta is a not super big part but really funny
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is one of the most difficult and the opera composer that has done the most how is it to work with him ?
He has a really peculiar way of writing his opera are quite full of recittaivi and that is a bit difficult but it is only to study him .
I have the idea that the opera interest due to skype performance from Metropolitan s mostly only for tradition and the mass media idea?
I can agree with it but i want to point out that there are also very good performance in much more modest environment
Italy is the country of the opera. Why is that not a subject for school studies ?
Unfortunately the Italian school doesn’t care so much of music subject an
A lot of my reader doesn’t know how a opera singer start here carrier ?
The best would be to find a good teacher between 15-16 years old and after that study the partitture. It is hard but really exiting.
d they will care even less upon melodrama studies.
In the 1950 it was typicla that they shoot some kind of movie in wchich the voice was the one of Tebaldi singing Aida and the performance was Sofia Loren do you beleive that this could coem back ?
No I don’t think that becasue now it has been more and more important with life registration
And that people does want to see more opera life so I think that that is not so actual
Some of my favorite work in the Cinema history are Kenent Brangadan The magic Flaute, Il Don Giovanni by Joseph Losely an mostly Francesco Rosi's a Carmen in which both the Cinema medium and the opera medium are going hand in hand do you Think that one could do the same with Stiffelio?
It would be awesome
Well under opera story they took many stories from example by the mythologies and the History, I think that that could be possible but what we would see is mostly work inspired of Broadway musical form Cocciante alla Premiata Forneria Marconi, has wrote several story and may bee some that ios inside this m
What do you think about ennio Morricone’s music?
He has a great style in several of his work that i simply love. A lot of film composer make citation about them .
Do you have a favurite Swedish Movie?
I'm sorry I havenät see nay of them
